New Delhi: The upcoming British rock band Coldplay’s concert which was scheduled to be held on November 19 in Mumbai has stuck itself into a big controversy. The most anticipated event of the Global Citizen Festival, could be in jeopardy. Reason? Indian politics.


As people went crazy the tickets of the event were sold in no time. The Congress party and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) demanded the concert should be postponed because the ruling state government is trying to woo voters by providing concessions on festival tickets for upcoming Municipal Polls.

As the news reached to netizens they started trolling Congress and NCP on micro-blogging site.
